About
Microsoft Build of OpenJDK is Microsoft’s distribution of OpenJDK. This Homebrew cask installs the microsoft-openjdk@21 variant as a macOS JDK package.
- The cask is for the OpenJDK 21 line; it is not a separate runtime-only package.
- Homebrew provides installer packages for Apple Silicon (
aarch64) and Intel (x64) Macs. - Installation uses a macOS package installer. The cask also defines package-based uninstall behavior.
Install with Homebrew Cask:
brew install --cask microsoft-openjdk@21
After installation, use the JDK from your macOS development environment or command line as needed. The cask targets macOS; no minimum macOS version is specified.
